We\u2019re told Minaj\u2019s wax likeness was moved to Germany because the museum loans statues out frequently to mix up the attractions at its various locations.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Also, for all the haters claiming Nicki\u2019s being disrespected because the figure doesn\u2019t look anything like her \u2026 she disagrees. Our sources say, her team actually worked with the museum on the project in 2015, and she signed off on it before it went public.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n If you\u2019ll recall \u2026 Nicki praised her figure \u2014 a lot \u2014 at the time of the initial unveiling. She said she loved it and couldn\u2019t wait to see it in person, proudly shared video and commended how much it looked like the real deal.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Of course, the wax lookalike pays homage to her huge hit music vid for \u201cAnaconda\u201d \u2026 which at the time was celebrating its 1-year anniversary.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The figure made headlines at the time too \u2014 not because people thought it missed the mark \u2026 but because people couldn\u2019t stop touching the figure inappropriately and snapping pics.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Why must yall b this way😔👀 https:\/\/t.co\/4MyacuPryh<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) August 4, 2015<\/a> Mrs. Petty didn\u2019t approve back then \u2026 and it\u2019s very likely she doesn\u2019t approve of all the trolling right now.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n
